MS Fabric Administrator (Data Platform Admin)

Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we run and reimagine the mission-critical technology systems that drive advantage for the world’s leading businesses.  We are at the heart of progress; with proven expertise and a continuous flow of AI-powered insight, enabling smarter decisions, faster innovation, and a lasting competitive edge. For our people—Kyndryls—that means doing purposeful work that powers human progress. Join us and experience a flexible, supportive environment where your well-being is prioritized and your potential can thrive.

The Role

At Kyndryl we are project-based subject matter experts in all things infrastructure – good at providing analysis, documenting and diagramming work for hand-off, offering timely solutions, and generally “figuring it out.” This is a hands-on role where your feel for the interaction between a system and its environment will be invaluable to every one of your clients.

As the Fabric Administrator you will manage MS Fabric tenant-level governance and operations, including capacity, workspace administration, security, data governance controls, monitoring, CI/CD enablement, and overall platform reliability for analytics teams.

Key responsibilities

• Configure Fabric tenant settings, feature toggles, and admin portal controls.

  
  

• Manage Fabric capacity (F SKU / capacity units), including workload management, throttling controls, and cost/performance optimization; plan scaling strategy.

  
  

• Define and enforce workspace strategy (domain/team-based), naming standards, and access controls.

  
  

• Apply governance policies for workspace creation, external sharing, publishing, and content promotion.

  
  

• Administer role-based access across workspaces and core Fabric items (Lakehouses, Warehouses, Semantic Models) using least-privilege principles.

  
  

• Implement identity governance using Microsoft Entra ID groups; manage segmentation and controls to reduce data exfiltration risk.

  
  

• Coordinate with data governance teams to support cataloging, lineage, stewardship, and data ownership practices.

  
  

• Define platform standards for ingestion, transformations, certified datasets, semantic model reuse, and analytics asset lifecycle management.

  
  

• Implement monitoring and alerting for refresh failures, pipeline failures, capacity overuse, and service health issues; drive remediation and continuous improvement.

  
  

• Establish incident response processes, RCA templates, and problem management; manage release cadence, platform updates, and communications.

  
  

• Support deployment pipelines, environment promotion, and Git integration (where used); standardize packaging and deployment practices across data products.

  
  

Your future at Kyndryl
There are lots of opportunities to gain certification and qualifications on the job, and you’ll continuously grow as a Cloud Hyperscaler.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.
Required Technical and Professional Experience

• Fabric governance blueprint (tenant controls, policies, operating model).

  
  

• Capacity plan and scaling strategy.

  
  

• Workspace security model (RBAC, Entra ID group design, segmentation).

  
  

• Monitoring and alerting design (dashboards, thresholds, on-call/notifications).

  
  

• CI/CD process and environment promotion approach (deployment pipelines/Git, where applicable).

  
  

• Data platform runbooks, incident response procedures, and RCA templates.
